INDIANA's TREASURY DEFICIT.
Owing to u deficiency in the COL
lection of taxes, Indiana has now
maturing obligations amounting to
about 5000, 900 with nothing in the
treasury to meet them. Party or
yans are trying to see something
wrong or crooked in the Indiana
Treasury deficit, but they are un-
able to rake up the figures. III 9
total net debt of the State, including
State, county and municipal debt,
is SIS, 353, 900; the rate of taxation,
for State purposes (the net state
debt being 81, 99S, 000) is 144 cents
on the 800, and the per capita debt
for the whole State, county and
municipal debt is 1928. In this
respect she is one of the leading
states, only nine others of the 80
States having a smaller per capita
debt. Maryland's total net debt
State, county and municipal is $lO,-
500, 900, with rate of taxation OF
1Sa, and per capita debt of $1l.65,
in this last particular twelve States
only have a smaller debt. Pennsyl-
vania does not assess real property,
as 40 cents on the 500 on personal
property is sufficient to meet her
demands. Delaware's debt is 1884,
600 with interest paying securities
of over $1,000, 600 and therefore
makes no assessment for State pur-
poses. Massachusetts, state tax a
ton is 81 cents on the 500, and
Vermont's 10 cents; Nevada leads
the list for high taxes, hers being
90 cents on the 500 and is follow

After quoting our article it con-
tinues:
1.-The uncertain time of arrival of trains

repairs going on at the b. q o. Depot,
| Baltimore, which prevents the trains from
starting at regular times. 1t was notable
| how regularly the trains came and went on
the ShortLine from the very first train over

| forced to start a month before 1t was
ready.

from accident by signals that indicate to
the engineer whether, or not, he can
come forward AS 10, 'if the brakes
hadn't worked" why that could be as
sumed and an accident worked out every
day in the week and Sunday too. In the
accident of the 23rd, somebody was, no
doubt blameable, but accidents occur in
the best regulated families" and when
the CAPITAL builds railroad and man
ages it, there will be, very probably,
neither delays, accidents, nor the smell OF
disarrangement about it.
II the delays non are due to GER
tlin assigned causes the public
should have known it. We are as
much friend to the road as the
Record. We are also public journal
lists and as such we mean to place all
facts before the public that they
have the right to know. The allu-
sion to the CAPITALS building a
railroad, is made in a sneering
manner. We have only to say, If 1T
does the Record any good to sheer
it is welcome to do so. We like to
see our fellow man pleased with
himself-but We beg to assure the
Record that we are alike indifferent
to its sneers or snarls. We expect
to build railroad about the same
time that the Record builds one
We may add regarding its reference
in another article to the arrest of
Dollman-that it was made on a
bench warrant. Everyone who

oppose it are damned by it. 1t sug-
gests to us the thought:

Spirit OF OUR LOCAL EXCHANGES.
The Republican has a leader on
the necessity of ardent political
work to be done, and urges all par
ties to put their shoulders to the
wheel to elect the democratic ticket.
The Record, with the Democratic
county ticket at its mast head, is
still discussing generally, while APP
plying specially the evils in the
party, especially A. A. Co. land Civ
ing the remedy. 1t also ably dis
cusses the needs of the city, and
advises what shall be done to lower
taxes, someachat practically. Anoth-
err article is on Curtis Bay, and
gives our Sheriff and County Com
missioners touch under the ribs
The concluding article is a sheer at
the CAPITAL and gives us q remedy
against publishing tho news sng-
gestively, we suppose, the best way
is to ask the Record. The Gazette
discusses the Republican county
ticket; and the Advertiser discusses
the political outlook. the recent
railroad disasters, and the Demo
cratic State ticket.

The Greatest Invention of the Age,
INDESTnUCTIDLE FUEL CARTRIDGE

The Fuel Cartridge is the only perfect device
ever invented by which kerosene oil can be
used as fuel in any ordinary cook stove, range
or heater. The Fuel Cartridge is q metal cyl
inder packed with ncombusttble material,
with absorbent qualities sufficient TO absorb
one pint of oil. which will burn one hOnr
and produce enough heat to cook meal. or
warm a room, without the aid OF coal, wood,
or other fuel. NO DANGER.
There is not the slightest danger in using
kerosene with the Fuel Cartridge, as from its
open porous form IL connOt explode and Is
therefore no more dangerous than Coal or
Wood. HOW USED.
The Fuel Cartridge is so simple that but
brief directions for its use are necessary. With
each cartridge is tin can and all that Is neces-
sary is TO ill the can with oil sufhient TO cover
cartridge; allow il to soak three minutes, or as
muchlouge as you desire, then with an or
dinary poker place itin your stove on piece OF
paper, light the paper and your fire Is ready
After the cartridge is fairly burning shut your
front drafts and regulate with hampers In
stove pipe. When not in use the cartridge
should be kept in the can. u Is not necessary
to remove coal ashes from the firebox of your
stove il the cartridge is used after coal has
been burned as the remaining ashes will raise
the cartridge into position, when IL will give
more intense heat to the top stove,
